Please write below in legally safe to use in my affidavit. *. Harassment and Intimidation In April *, my father managed to get the police to warn a neighbor, a tracker technician, whom I believe was engaging in targeted harassment against me, causing issues with my internet and phone. The police found a device in the neighbor's unit that had accessed my business website. In November *, I experienced further interference with my internet connection, leading me to shout at the neighbor to stop. Following this incident, my landlord accused me of damaging his property and threatened to file a police report, which the neighbor subsequently did. The landlord has shown a pattern of intimidation, including sending me letters indicating his intent not to renew my lease unless I apologize to the neighbor, especially after I experienced delays in rent payment in December *.
